Hello there! My name is Noah Budd and I am a woodworker from southeast Michigan. I hail from a small set of towns in the Upper Peninsula called Houghton/Hancock. I lived there for 24 of my 31 years, and graduated from Michigan Tech in 2019 in audio production.
In my free time I am a dad first and hobbyist second. I make music, read books, smoke pipes, and kayak fish. I am a broadcast engineer in my professional life, working an early morning 3:30 – 11:30 am shift. The early bird has most definitely gotten a worm or two.
Thanks for stopping by my site and feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @noahbwoodworks or via the email found on the contact page

The blog posts for this week may be a little empty because I did not do very much woodworking last weekend. It was -15 degrees on Saturday, so my brother and I did a little ice fishing and hammered some of the smallest panfish you’d ever see. It was very fun. On Thursday I was…

Unfortunately there has not been much progress on the tessellated box project. I sanded the outsides to 400 grit, and routed the round over onto the box lid and base. Shortly after I started cutting the lid apart by hand but was interrupted by family shenanigans. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get out…

I had an idea this morning on my way to work that might make the cutting of the lid of tessellated box more accurate/straightforward. So the current procedure is to v carve the tessellated pattern, pour the epoxy, sand the epoxy and then re mount the pieces on the CNC to be cut into the…

There’s nothing too crazy different to report on since yesterday. I’m happy with the 3D printer upgrade, it definitely makes a significant difference in the amount of noise that’s coming out of the machine. I’ve sort of been in music making mode for the last few days and yesterday I rearranged a bunch of hardware…

Over the last week or so, I’ve been printing pieces to an upgrade to my 3D printer. I purchased my 3D printer on a black Friday sale last year and it cost $250 marked down from $350. It’s a FlashForge Adventurer 5M. 3D printing nerds might already know that you can modify this machine and…

I ended up taking my Thursday and Friday off last week to help my wife with her mom. My wife has traveled to Ann Arbor every day since last Monday and so I helped with the house and toddler. It has been really rough on her and her guardian mom. I was still able to…

I’m going to get personal for a second. This week has been heavy for my friends and family. My wife lost her biological mom last night, which was awful. Grandma June left this world somewhat comfortably in the hospital shortly after experiencing a collapsed lung. The doctors gave her morphine, which helped. Her passing was…

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to progress the tessellated box project. It should be fairly straightforward from here though and I’ll post pictures and a link to the video once it’s completed. I just need to go slow and take my time with the miters, making sure that they’re perfect. the whole…

Last weekend was very productive and lots of things got done, albeit lots of it was not related to woodworking. I cleaned out our entire garage, and made space for my car to fit again. It’s a tight fit, but I’m making much better use of my wall of bins and purged a ton of…

I’ve definitely been in a funk this week. Getting back to work from a short vacation last week has me feeling down. It was way worse yesterday, and I’m hoping that next week will be better. You can tell by the length of a blog post how much I’m feeling like taking on the weight…
